My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Courageous is a beautiful white King pigeon with a grey ring in her eyes. She is on the small side for a King, but she is mighty with a very sweet disposition. Courageous was one of several birds who were rescued after being raised for squab, bought from a butcher, and released by a well-meaning person who didn't know these domestic pigeons have no way to fend for themselves. They don't know how or where to find food or water -- or even that they can fly. One of Courageous's cohort was killed by a predator and Palomacy rescued four others. Courageous and her husbird, Penny, are part of Palomacy's foster flock at Ploughshares Nursery in Alameda. They would love to find their forever home!Please apply to adopt http://www.pigeonrescue.org/birds/apply-to-foster-or-adopt/October 22, 2024, 12:24 am

Their adoption process

Additional adoption info

We require an online adoption application, phone screen & home visit and offer lots of support and coaching all along the way. Our adoption fee is $10/bird and our expectations for adopters are:
-Appropriately sized, safe and uncrowded cage or aviary approved by Palomacy
-Supervised, safe out-of-cage time (if not living in an aviary) daily
-No free flight/uncaged outside time
-Protection from hazards including but not limited to escape, pets, predators, fumes and toxins
-Companionship- lots of your time or another bird's (not home alone)
-Avian vet care if sick or injured
-Compassionate, healthy care that provides for the bird's nutritional (including lighting), physical and emotional well-being
-No breeding, birth control if bird has a mate (real eggs replaced with fakes which we provide)
-A forever home (through sickness and health, for better or worse) with a pet-care plan in place should something happen to you
-No selling, sporting or business use of birds
-Return to Palomacy if unable to keep the bird (This is not desired- we expect that you are providing a forever home!)

Go meet their pets

We are a volunteer-powered rescue and our birds are lovingly cared for in the private homes and backyard aviaries of our foster volunteers. Potential adopters can make appointments to meet our birds and we are at adoption & outreach events almost every weekend. See our Events page at www.PigeonRescue.org and visit our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/PigeonDiplomacy/ for details.
